When i drop to the kde desktop xine also hangs I tried all sorts of command line variations without any luck. Strange thing is mplayer player back the live caputure just fine using mplayer /dev/video and after setting

v4l2-ctl -v width=640,height=480 --device=/dev/video0 --set-input=2. Any idea's how to change live tv to use mplayer or what might be going on with xine? Dvd playback work fine under xine so I know it is not totally broken.

edit: apparently it is a vdpau issue if i launch xine as xine -V xv fifo:/dev/video0 it works fine.

yeah but then I lose vdpau for mythtv :-( I have a hdpvr so I need vdpau to run the mythtv recording on the md as it is a slow old amd. I know i can manually override the vdapu setting in mythtv but trying to do things the lmce way.

Thank you thom. I set xv in the media director and the roku box is working great from lmce. I also still have vdpau in mythtv (not sure why I suspected that setting xv in the media director screen was going to change this). Anyway thank you.

Another observation mythtv video files from the hdpvr 1212 now play with xv set on the media director in linuxmce. ( I can not acutally watch them due to the lack of vdpau support) but they do play. Strange thing is dvd playback works with vdpau looks like it is just mpeg playback that is broken with xine and vdpau at least on my system.

Strange I reloaded the xinelib2, pluto xine player, and nvidia drivers and still does not play. I only tested the pvr-150.mpg so far. Could it be a incompatibility with my vid card? I'm running a Asus EN210 silent geforce 210 512 ddr2. From what I can tell on the vdpau wiki this card should support vdpau feature set C. I can post new logs when i get off work today if that helps.

I was testing from command line. Ill reset my vdpau in lmce and give it another whirl from lmce. I do have stereo sound connected. When launching from command line with xine -V vdpau fifo:/ it does open the xine player but just sits there with a black screen and the last entry in the verbose log is

I upgraded nvdia drivers to the latest posted on nvidia's website 270.41.06 and now I can manually run the video files from the command line with xine -V vdpau fifo://. this works for both the pvr-150 and hdpvr files. Still a black screen in lmce with vdpau support on tho. There is no audio on the hdpvr file but i understand this to be a problem with the transport stream the hdpvr uses.
